< Back to Funny Stuff Safari
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day, the dog starts chasing butterflies, and before long, he discovered he was lost. Wandering about, he noticed a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dog thought, "Oh boy, I'm in deep doo-doo now." Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settled down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard was about to leap, the dog exclaimed loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the leopard halted his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror came over him, and slinked his way into the trees. "Whew", said the leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me." Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figured he could put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he went. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up. The monkey soon caught up with the leopard, spilled the beans, and struck a deal for himself with the leopard. The cat was furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine." The dog saw the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thought, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sat down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hadn't seen them yet. Just when they got close enough to hear, the dog said, "Where's that monkey? I can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back yet!!" < Back to Funny Stuff | |||||||||||||||||||
